Regarding SZ 110, I got hosed one time on a UK scramble. Usually as Germany, I send 3 fighters, 3 Stukas, 1 bombers and sometimes 1 sub to SZ 110. Our UK player had gotten in the habit of not scrambling in order to save the RAF for future action.
Well, this one game I made the mistake of just assuming UK would not scramble. I sent 2 fighters, 2 Stukas and 1 bomber to SZ 110. The other fighter and Stuka I sent to kill the French fleet in SZ 93. Well, UK taught me a lesson. They scrambled and wiped out my planes. I didn’t even kill all the ships in the channel.
Never made that mistake again.
AAG40 FAQ

Alpha + 3 question. Does ANZAC’s capitol not count if the allies hold all axis capitols?
No, it doesn’t appear to count, as only the 4 more major world power centers of Washington, Paris, London and Moscow were listed.
However, it seems quite bizarre that the Allies could win, holding Tokyo, Berlin, Rome, and Paris, but not Washington, London, Moscow, or Sydney….
And how would it EVER happen that Allies would control Tokyo, Berlin, Rome, and Sydney, but none of the other 4?
-
Alpha + 3 question. Does ANZAC’s capitol not count if the allies hold all axis capitols?
In the RARE case that the Allies hold Rome, Berlin, and Tokyo, but have lost Paris, London, Moscow AND Washington?
no, it wouldn’t count. niether would Calcutta.

Has a Tac in Wger been removed or not in Alpha 3 ?

Is the Italian NO for Caucasus gone?

Has a Tac in Wger been removed or not in Alpha 3 ?
W. Germany still has 3 tacs. I too saw that it was 2 tacs for a while. However, if you go back to the official thread now, it states 3 tactical bombers for W. Germany again.

The rules say Mongolia becomes Russian if Japan attacks Amur. So Japan can attack any other Russian territory at any time without any penalty?
Yes. Only an attack from Manchuria and/or Korea into Amur will trigger Mongolia.

Yes. Only an attack from Manchuria and/or Korea into Amur will trigger Mongolia.
A good question came up on another thread. What about aircraft in Manchuria/Korea? Could they accompany an amphibious assault, without incurring the wrath of the Mongolians? Do they have to follow a flight plan that goes out to sea and back so they’re not crossing the Amu/Kor or Amu/Man borders??
-
The question is, if super submarines upgrade convoy damage to 3 for everyone, do they upgrade convoy damage to 4 for Germany?
-
Axisplaya, please change the title of this thread.
Is the Italian NO for Caucasus gone?
Yes.
@Cmdr:
The question is, if super submarines upgrade convoy damage to 3 for everyone, do they upgrade convoy damage to 4 for Germany?
No. Germany gets only the increased combat capability.

They may not originate from Manchuria or Korea.

Has the set-up for Western Germany been shorted 1 Tac Bomber or is it a typo.
-
It was a typo and has been corrected already. W. Germany still has 3 tactical bombers.

AA Guns fire 3 dice each, all at once, and before all combat, right? Or do they fire 1 dice each before all combat, for a maximum of 3 rounds of combat?

@Young:
AA Guns fire 3 dice each, all at once, and before all combat, right? Or do they fire 1 dice each before all combat, for a maximum of 3 rounds of combat?
The former. UP TO 3 dice each, all at once before combat. So if 10 aircraft fly over your 3 AA guns, you roll 9 dice before the attacker rolls, and the AA guns are done (but can be chosen as casualties). If 2 aircraft fly over your 3 AA guns, you roll 2 dice before the attacker rolls.
-
In SBR do you still add 2 to the roll of a Strategic bomber?
If Amur is attacked via amphibious assault, and all invading units were loaded from a territory other than Manchuria or Korea, is the Mongolian penalty (bonus depending on your point of view) still activated?
-
No to both.
-
Now that AA guns can be taken as casaulties, this question actually has some relevance.
What comes first, AA guns firing at planes, or shore bombardment?
-

Page 17 says Step 1 is sea combat.
Step 2 is Bombardment
Step 3 is land combatAA guns are part of the land combat.
Please explain (it’s late) how this question has relevance. Even if you select AA guns as casualties, casualties of bombardment still get to fire…

Me and my friend and dad, occasionally, when new rules come out, if we run into one that we don’t like, run a game with and a game without. I don’t remember exactly when that rule was changed, but I remember being taught back on the original version of casaulties being removed immediately, and we stuck with it that way.

Yeah, it’s gone back and forth. In AA50 and 1940 they fire back.
IIRC (might be mixed up - just woke up) in “Revised”, bombardment blew them off the map (no counter-attack), however, air units were immune.
